﻿What is the process for setting up an appointment?If you are interested in setting up an appointment, you can contact CBPNY either by email or by phone. After a brief phone conversation with one of our doctors to ensure that CBPNY is the best match for your therapy needs, a 1-hour consultation will be schedule with one of our psychologists. During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet with the psychologist, review information about yourself and your current difficulties, and discuss treatment options. Treatment recommendations are made and a therapy schedule is then set up.

How often does someone come for therapy?Most people attend therapy on a weekly basis for a 45 minute session. However, we try to meet the needs of our patients by customizing the therapy based on the severity of the issues and the goals that our patients would like to meet. Thus, more intensive therapy is available if warranted.

Do you take insurance?We do not accept or participate in any insurance programs at this time. However, we do provide receipts that can be submitted to your insurance plan if you have out-of-network benefits.

Can I use my out-of-network benefits?Depending on your insurance plan and provider benefits, you may be reimbursed for a portion of your therapy payments. Reimbursement rates from insurance plans vary widely from the entire fee to a small portion of the fee. You can inquire about the reimbursement rate from your insurance carrier by asking what percent they reimburse for a 45-minute therapy session with a licensed psychologist (CPT-code 90834). The percentage they quote you will be based on the zip code you have your session in (10024 - for NYC office, 10583 - for Scarsdale office). You should also ask what the "usual and customary rate" is according to your insurance company as that is the rate upon which they will base their reimbursement.

Where are your offices located?Our New York City office address is 140 West 86th Street, Suite 1B, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues. It is conveniently located near the B & C & #1 trains, as well as the M86 cross-town bus.
